Abstract:		 Following the requirements of the Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Diocese of St Albans, the Heritage Network were commissioned by the Parochial Church Council, to carry out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on drainage works for the Church of St Lawrence, Ardeley. One feature was discovered during the excavation of the drainage channel to the south of the church. However there were no finds recovered from it and it was not possible to identify its form or function. Evidence for the construction trench for the south aisle was also found during the drainage works. During the excavation of the three soakaways, seven adult articulated human skeletons were discovered. All the bodies were orientated east-west, and they were cleaned, recorded and lifted before being reburied within the churchyard. One sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from the fill of one of the graves, however it was considered to be residual. A number of post medieval coffin nails and studs and a coffin handle were also recovered. After identification these were returned to the church to be buried with the human remains. No clear dating evidence was recovered from the burials.
